About the Item
This 20th-century hand-thrown terracotta table lamp was formed in Anatolia from dense local clay, and smoke-fired to an intense earth-red patina, evoking the sun-baked clay landscapes of the Mediterranean.
Dana
Fabe
Its warm, rounded form and robust materiality recall its original function as a storage vessel, now transformed into refined lighting. The natural variations in tone — from deep russet to ochre flecks — and the subtle firing rings across the body speak to the authentic hand-crafting process.
Dana
Fabe
As a converted lamp base, this piece offers both tactile presence and functional elegance. The unglazed finish allows the clay’s raw texture and mineral character to take centre stage, making it ideal for interiors that appreciate the intersection of craft, material honesty, and quiet luxury.
Styling Tip: Place on a console or bedside table in a space with linen, dark timbers or oxidised metals. The lamp’s warm red-clay tone builds a rich base that complements both earthy and more refined palettes.
